Neurologic and psychiatric features of impending neurodegeneration in iRBD
Introduction: Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is linked to Parkinson’s disease and other alpha-synucleinopathies, but various subsets of iRBD may not carry equal risk (i.e., those with depression are at higher risk than

A retrotransposon storm marks clinical phenoconversion to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease
AbstractRecent reports have suggested that the reactivation of otherwise transcriptionally silent transposable elements (TEs) might induce brain degeneration, either by dysregulating the expression of genes and pathways implicated in cognitive decline and dementia or through the induction of immune-mediated neuroinflammation resulting in the ...

Autophagy in phenoconversion of differentiated and undifferentiated fibroblasts
Cardiac fibroblasts phenoconvert to hypersecretory myofibroblasts and deposit matrix resulting in cardiac fibrosis and autophagy that is associated to fibroproliferative events. Autophagy inhibition was studied in both primary (P0) rat cardiac fibroblasts (PF) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF).

Idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorde (iRBD) is a precursor symptom of neurodegenerative diseases, and most patients will convert to neurodegenerative diseases later in the disease. Reliable biological markers are of great significance for

ABSTRACT Objective Autosomal dominant progranulin (GRN) pathogenic variants are a genetic cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Though clinical trials for GRN‐related therapies are underway, there is an unmet need for biomarkers that can predict symptom onset and track disease progression.

Autonomic dysfunction and phenoconversion in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a common finding among patients with synucleinopathies. We aimed to determine the degree of autonomic dysfunction in patients presenting with idiopathic RBD (iRBD), and the predictive value of autonomic dysfunction for phenoconversion to a defined neurodegenerative disease.We searched our electronic medical record ...

Genetic Modifiers of Parkinson's Disease: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the associations of LRRK2 p.G2019S, GBA1 p.N409S, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and APOE E4 on PD penetrance, risk, and symptoms. Methods We conducted a US‐based observational case–control study using data from the 23andMe Inc. and Fox Insight Genetic Substudy (FIGS) databases.
